Thank you for viewing. This is a set of five antique Imari plates from the late Edo period, featuring sometsuke (underglaze blue) decoration using the sumihajiki (ink-repelling) technique. The center of each plate depicts pine, bamboo, and plum, symbols of longevity and prosperity, while the surrounding area is adorned with gourd patterns, representing abundance and good fortune. The design is a harmonious blend of auspicious motifs. With a diameter of 23.3cm, these plates are a perfect size to brighten up your dining table and are also highly valuable as a collector's item. Please enjoy the charm of these historical antique Imari pieces, which embody the aesthetic sense and craftsmanship of the Edo period. The size is similar to a curry plate or pasta plate. ★Dimensions★ Diameter: 23.3cm Height: 3.4cm My name is "Tojiki Yosoro," and I am an antique dealer (No. 911100009525) residing in Imari City, Saga Prefecture, a town famous for ceramics.
